  “Scribire iussit amor” 
  Ovid 
  (“Love compelled me to write”) 
  As with most art, the words in this book were inspired by love. 
  Inspired by women I have loved and one in particular, who I may have loved before. 
  The woman who inspired many of these words is one of the very few truly spiritual people I’ve ever known. In spite of a life often tormented by cruelty and neglect, she retained a rare spirituality and compassion. 
  She enriched my life and for that I will never forget her. 
  These are some of the poems. 
  Written over the past couple of years (something creative came out of the COVID lockdown). Some describe experiences and feelings directly related to my relationships and circumstances. Some figments of my imagination. 
  This book is divided into three sections: 
  Life, Love, and Loss 
  You can start reading from the beginning through to the end, or you can pick a section depending on your mood, or dip in and out at random.

  The correct fury of your why is...

  Poet-critic Jim Johnstone has described Kevin Heslop's the correct fury of your why is a mountain as among “the most promising poetic projects to come out of Canada in recent years.” This debut collection communicates Heslop’s sense of balance as a visual artist, curator, and poet who weights the page with visual harmony. By turns experiment, lyric, and incantation, the book nods to its author’s training as an actor, combining a command of language, form, character, and polyphony to make something performatively unique.

  Dance of Death The (Part 1 & 2)

  Come join me as we enter the scene of a remote military outpost where we'll experience the tumultuous relationship between two embittered souls as they confront the harsh realities of their disintegrating marriage. Oh how lives of others can be so easily dismantled by the whims of the few. 
  "I have lived a life of quiet desperation, clinging to the illusion of happiness. But now, as I stand on the precipice of oblivion, I see the truth with startling clarity. We are all prisoners of our own making, trapped in cages of our own design. And yet, even in the darkest of times, there is a flicker of light. A spark of hope that refuses to be extinguished. I may be flawed, imperfect, but I am still alive. And as long as there is life, there is the possibility of change."

  Bunny Girls

  Angela Readman

  Out of the doll's house and into the woods, Bunny Girls steps out of the shadows of girlhood and looks at the world with wide eyes. Surreal, spiky, wise and darkly funny, this new collection by Costa-winning author and poet Angela Readman expertly mixes shades of film noir, northern wit, and magic realism. Through the lens of childhood, these poems address autism, anxiety, and darker concerns buried by cultural ideals of femininity.
  Here in Readman's skilful words are odes to severed heads, angels and Disney villains, Marilyn Monroe's body double, squashed slugs, sexual awakenings, Wendy-houses and snow globes, nosebleeds and blackbirds. Women are both invisible and actively writing themselves into the visible. Where there is isolation and dislocation, its counterbalance is finding breathless, reckless joy in the acts of creation and imagination. At its heart, this enlivening, magnificent book is about darkness and light, the lovely and the frightening, the beautiful and the worrying.

  The Satires

  Juvenal

  The Roman poet Juvenal was the greatest satirist of Imperial Rome. His 16 satires encompass attacks on the immorality, abuses and hypocrisy of the Romans of his day. The last of the great Roman poets, he wrote between CE 110 and 130, his approach to satire coming close to modern expectations of the genre.
  Today, Juvenal is best known for the Latin quotations panem et circenses (‘bread and races’ – he stated that this was all the Roman populace desired) and mens sana in corpore sano (‘a healthy mind in a healthy body’).
  This audiobook, deftly delivered by David Timson, uses Niall Rudd’s translation, which preserves the style and metrical effect of Juvenal’s hexameters.
